I recently visited this establishment on a weekend night. It was in fact my bday celebration. After having a good time and consuming some beverages our friend's girl friend was kicked out and left alone on the streets of Venice, CA to fend for herself. We questioned the bouncer about this and requested that she be let back in such that she wasn't by herself drunk - afterall, isn't the bar responsible if they drive home drunk and cause vehicular homocide?\r

In any case, while discussing this matter with the bouncer we were approached by the manager who in a very rude and unforgiving tone told us she wasn't coming back in. As we continued to discuss this, and she was walking away, she accused us of calling her a *itch and told us to leave. We quickly followed in a conversation with the bouncer saying that this wasn't the case. Before we could finish discussing this matter the bouncer grabbed me by the neck and begain pushing me. I immediately defended myself and was tackled by the other bouncer who then chocked me while I lie restrained and injured on the ground. \r

If you'd like to be accosted and treated like dirt then go to Beechwood. The staff are rude, the manager needs anger management classes and I am pretty sure their bouncer(s) were/are drinking on the job. You've been warned, but I highly recommended steering clear of Beechwood. I came home that night with an injured back, bruised and cut knee, and messed up jaw.
Pros: No pros, this place is terrible
Cons: If you'd like to be attacked by a bouncer this is the place to go. Mgmnt is terrible and rude
